Česká Lípa is an old town, whose roots go back to perhaps third quarter of the 13th century. Its strategic location - it was founded on the crossroads leading to the territory of modern Germany - has since helped develop its crafts and businesses. In the 18th century it was one of the most populous Bohemian towns. With time, the town became a crossing or six railway roads. Now there are about 40.000 inhabitants in Česká Lípa.

Welcome to our town, get to know its history and enjoy its beauty. (Homeland museum on the monastery's territory). Here you can see some photos as an example.
